Das Schwiegermonster

Hilariously funny. Good script, great acting and nice to see Jane playing her age and doing it tongue in cheek. This is a sit back, relax and laugh your face off movie...don't over think it...it's entertainment.

I've always enjoyed watching this movie, it's pure fun with a good ending. The perfect comedy to mindlessly pass an hour and a half. I think JLo and Fonda have good charisma and make have fun with the back and forth sparring. Wanda Sykes is hilarious and is so perfect in this role. Overall good fun, with decent acting and a decent storyline.

I really an baffled as to why this film has ranked so low. Jane Fonda and Jennifer Lopez excel in their roles. Their ability to comically be at each others throats is a joy to watch.

Despite all the garbage reviews slating JLo for her performance, the movie is actually fun! Since when was JLo tryna be the next Meryl people? All the sit at home critics need to pipe down and take this movie for what it is: light, silly fun that ain't trying to win no Oscars. Especially enjoyed Wanda Sykes and her chemistry with Jane was perfect.

This film is about the tug of war between a mother who cannot bear losing her son through marriage, and the daughter in law who does not give in to the mother's manipulative behaviour.

The pacing is quite fast for a romantic comedy, as it squeezes in a romantic comedy in the first half and hour and then the tug of war in the last hour. The psychological games they play are clever and fun. Though there is clear rivalry between Charlie and Viola, it is still conveyed in a light hearted and fun way without hatred or malice. It brings out a great message that differences can eventually be solved through honest communication. I find this film fun and delightful.
